What's going on guys? Handy Desparky here, electrician from New Jersey and today we are installing two outlets for a customer and I'm going to show you guys how to install two outlets from scratch. Hello everybody. So, we just arrived to the customer's house and they requested they wanted two new outlets installed in their detach garage so they can get power for their new power tools because they're now building a workshop. So, they requested two new outlets. And the first thing I do is I run my 122 MC wire and we could have ran ROMX, guys, but we only had MC in the truck and metalclad cable is better. MC stands for metalclad cable. And as you can see here, I put on my snap-on connector and use my rotosplit. And we are now, this is me currently installing the 122 wire for the outlets. Now we you need to install 122 wire 12 gauge. When installing a 20 amp outlet, it is for the code. If it was a 15 amp outlet, you can install 14 gauge. But since it's 20 amp outlets, we are doing uh 12 wire. And you can see I'm tucking my wires. Here's a circuit breaker, guys. It's a square DQO panel. I'm showing you guys how the breaker looks like. And right now, I'm pushing in the breaker and checking my work. And as you can see here, here's a recap, guys, of the wires. So, the black wire is also known as the hot wire. That's the power. The white wire is the neutral. And the green wire is the ground. So, GG's, always remember that. So, you can see my wire where it's going. And the white, the neutral is on the bottom. The green's on the right hand side. And yes, there is my MC wire. I strapped it along following the ROMX. You always want to follow whatever paths the wires are currently previously. And that is an LB there. Now, we didn't necessarily have to run an LB, but we did an LB because it looked cleaner. Uh especially this was our first outlet. And here is a GFCI outlet, guys. And this is the line side. So, anytime you install a GFCI outlet, there is a line and a load. And the line is always going to be your first outlet for power. So, it's always important to establish which is your line and your load. And as you can see, we have installed the line and the load. Uh, make sure to always ground. We install metal boxes. And anytime you install a metal box, you must ground it. And right now, you can see these are finished. Guys, all outlets in a garage need to be GFCI protected, which stands for ground fault circuit interrupter. Here we are showing you a recap. I am showing you where I ran my wire. So, you can see this is a three bay garage. And above here is where I came to the other room. I ran the wire above the garage door, nice and hidden. And you can see right here, our MC is strapped. our LB. Like I said, we didn't have to run an LB, but we ran an LB because it was the first outlet, and we're gonna eventually had two wires coming out of it, as you can see, going to the second outlet. And then the other side of the wall is our two outlets. Here's our one outlet. We're just checking. We got 120. Yep. 120 volts. That makes us happy. Yep. Okay. 120. Yes. Every outlet, guys, is 120 volts. And we just finished. Customer is satisfied. And that's what a day looks like. Andy the Sparky. See you in the next one. Peace.
